Great work reaching 250 editions. I will make a special effort to remember to bring cash today. With the ground being cashless now I’m out of the habit of bringing cash.

For those with kids, do I just set them up an account, link it to mine and then hey presto I can buy them a season ticket?

Yes you’ll also need at some point to send in some proof of their age, but I remember it being quite an efficient process when I did it for my daughter. 

Swindon?

Punching someone for supporting their team, isn't acceptable, it's wanky behaviour, whether they are in the wrong section or not. I would say on this occasion- and we would need to see what went on before- that there does seem an element of the  Brum fan, maybe not 'looking for it' but certainly being up for a bit of confrontation, although as I wasn't there, I'm only guessing.

Glad to see my little hoolie mate who is both too old and too short to be getting involved in such stuff, seemingly trying to calm things down ( even though he did fail dismally!)

I get to go to a lot of rugby and while it's true it isn't always trouble free, it never seems to escalate in the way it does at football.

I've been in the wrong end lots of times and I'm sure many others have when away tickets are sparse and while sometimes I haven't worried cheering if City concede, there are occasions when you think 'I'd better lie low here' One notable occasion for me was when Garry Smart scored the winner for us in the last couple of minutes in one of the most one sided derbies ever. I was in the home seats in the Dolman  that day (it's  along story) and when Smarty scored I can honestly say it was a total involuntary reaction, but I celebrated. It was only a couple of seconds but I stood up and said something like '******* yes' and then had that moment of 'oh **** what have I done here' luckily its quite hard to  land a proper punch in the seats, and I think my City mate next to me copped more than I did.

I 've even gone in the Rangers end at Ibrox, with my Rangers supporting mate, warning me to  stand up if Rangers scored etc and - obviously - not cheer if Celtic did-. I managed to keep quiet when Celtic made it 1-1 , but when the 4th and 5th went in for Rangers I remained  firmly slumped in my seat, which didn't go unnoticed , but considering the scoreline  I got away with a few smirks and hand gestures rather than getting kicked all the way down Edmiston Drive.

Anyway, hitting people at football- definitely not cool.

Great post. Hope you don’t mind me correcting your typo

Had to laugh at the poster who said"Two thousand tractors will be heading down the M4" That is funny mind!

Haha yes. As if we wouldn’t tractor share with the cost of fuel these days

Bit harsh on Payne not being given a go

Just phoned the ticket office and they confirmed POTD is available tomorrow

@Tafkarmlf FYI

Anyone know if Saturday’s game will be POTD? I’ve emailed Supporter Services and awaiting response.

@JerrySLO ?
 

Thanks

Wait for the news that they only took 150 and all the comments about how it would have been 2.5k if it was a Saturday.

Just over 300 sold pre match according to their forum.

Sadly not too many years ago our "fans" ripped the urinals off the wall at Millwall during the first half. Every village has its idiots.

Happened at Watford too after a 3-0 defeat

Surely the club must have cctv of those fans - so must be fairly straight forward to identify and hand out life bans!

We have the technology!!

I was thinking the same, but wonder if the unreserved seating makes it slightly more difficult as they can’t pin a seat to a specific ticket holder. Also seems to be plenty of flares going off home and away still.

I'm still amazed at home many people go mental when the opposition take a corner and the ball is right on the edge of the quadrant. Some people are literally bursting a blood vessel shouting the ball is outside the quadrant. Even if the ball was 1 metre outside it literally makes no difference to what happens

I always thought that was being done in jest to see if the ref will bite

Brilliant!

As a boy I spent a few hours at Ninian Park. My Dad, the son of a Somerset lad (Claverham), dragged screaming and kicking to the Rhondda by his parents who wanted the work in the mines in place of unemployment, always organised his trips back home from Bristol so that he could see a match en route. Not that he supported them, he just loved football (and rugby). His team as a child was Merthyr Tydfil.

When he was a boy, he came to Bristol with his Dad to visit an uncle in Coronation Road. If City were home in the Wedlock days, it was off to Ashton Gate for all the males. When he moved to Bristol to work at BAC in 1930's, his team became BRISTOL CITY and a win over Cardiff was the one he prized most. 

So come on City, do this one for my Father. And the rest of us!

Interesting post @cidered abroad

I remember having a very Welsh great great Uncle who had worked down the mines all his life. Must have done the same by going over for the work as cousin did DNA test which showed no Welsh blood.  For all the grief and abuse we give them at football I have always found the Welsh very humble and welcoming people (On a non Cardiff v City match day anyway!)

Never liked Cardiff. For those old enough to remember when England v Wales derbies at AG were really passionate.

 

I remember that one. There was a hail of bricks and debris going both ways! 

Don’t understand why Kohli wasn’t reprimanded for his comments about DRS in the last test.

This is behind the sofa stuff

Great to see some fight from these 2, looks like the Aussies can only bowl spin now due to the light

4 overs
